Whether or not it works out, they did what you're supposed to do when you want to win. You go out and get the best guy you can.


They absolutely did.



In 5 season at Michigan State, Nick Saban finished 5th, 5th, 6th, 6th and Tied for 2nd in the Big 10.

In 4 seasons at Oklahoma State, Les Miles finished 5th, 3rd, 3rd and 5th in the Big 12.

Neither of those hires we the best coach available but they both delivered national championships to LSU. Go figure.

Are you kidding? That was the dumbest thing this side of Knoxville that I have seen all week. No way that guy is worth $75M. Buyer's remorse is going to cut deep.

If anyone thinks LSU has near the financial resources of TA&M, they are insane. No way LSU can compete with A&M money. Even if he doesn't work out, the buyout at 5 years for JF is pocket change for A&M.

Money has both built college athletics but has kind of destroyed the competitive parity from back in the day. Everyone enjoys their new glitzy stadiums and shite but these coaching dollars are getting insane.

Even at four years it’s only $40 million. Arky just paid almost $12 million for fricking Bret. Jimbo is worth it.
